Vladimir Merchensky is an exponent of the contemporary watercolor of Buenos Aires. He has served as a teacher at the University of Buenos Aires, the National University of Art or the University of Palermo, and today he direct a watercolor school called TantaTinta, with one hundred and fifty students per year and more than three thousand works published in networks. In a trip to India he acquired pigments and recipes with which he manufactures powerfull and transparent watercolors. Following this technique, the use of ink and water-solubles are always present in his work. Swinging between the illustrative and plastic dimensions, he questions the traditional use of the technique by proposing veils of saturated color –an heir from his teacher Carlos Gorriarena– and shades of intense contrast. Among his pieces of art, several stand out: an imaginary tarot, a series of tango, memories of Africa and pre-Columbian America, several campaigns in public spaces for the Ministry of Culture of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires and the “Persia” of the cover art that he designed for the album "Espejos" by Andrés Ciro Martinez.Inspired by Xul Solar's line gradient and texts by Christian Metz, Rudolph Arnheim and Donis Dondis, he dedicate time to elaborate didactic material to expand the expressive range of this technique. There he laid the foundations of a watercolor grammar that includes Synthetic Valorism, a didactic proposal of spatial representation.
